Howard's Slow Start Doesn't Concern Manuel

Ryan Howard had a rough afternoon before singling in the ninth inning Sunday at Citizens Bank Park.
The Phillies' first baseman had struck out three times in his first four at-bats. Even with the single, he is hitting .167 (4-for-24) with three RBIs, two walks and eight strikeouts in six games. He is still looking for his first extra-base hit.
